I recently started coming to Ironwill and I have been really impressed with this place so far. Chris (owner) is a great guy and was very helpful to me as a CrossFit n00b to ensure I could get the right training and that I'm doing okay in each class. The way this works is that you start with a Fundamentals course (3 total classes) where you are taught the main lifts. This is all about getting used to the movements and understanding the right form. From there you are allowed to jump right into classes. The schedule is available online. No signups needed, you just show up. The workouts are challenging but doable. Love that the class is structured so you often work with a buddy which lets you get to know other people in the class. The class times are convenient for someone who is working the usual 9 - 5 schedule and there are classes available every day. The workout is posted on Facebook each day so you know what you're getting into before you arrive. Most importantly, the community that they have is really open and welcoming. I was nervous about trying out a CrossFit gym like this, but I'm really glad I did. Can't wait to continue with my fitness journey here! read more

The 6am weekday class is how I start my day! It's pretty awesome since you no longer have to worry about it for the rest of the day. I have been a member of this place for almost three years. I am really happy how the programs here transformed me. Chris and Achintya are great coaches. read more

Sorry but it's in a storage locker!! I went there w/my girlfriend any we walked down a carless alley sided w/storage lockers. We stood there confused; turned around to find a green car pulling up & a man jumps out unlocks & rolls up one of the storage doors. read more

Very good trainers, up to you how much you learn. Everyday new workout's There is no chance to get bored of exercise. It's a team work, unlike going to gym and lifting alone. I like a lot. I came on Business visa. I had a good time with Ironwill.... Thanks to chris and billy for helping me. read more

I've been training with Chris for a little over 3 years. I remember my first ever workout with him. It was possibly the hardest thing I have ever done. But at the time I was 280lbs. I have lost over 90lbs and still going. This is definitely the strongest and the best shape I have ever been in my life. Thanks to Chris. If you're looking for glamour and fancy equipment then this shit ain't for you. But if you're into hard work, a few tears, a bit of cursing and meeting good people. COME ON IN! We'd love to have you! read more

I have been working out at Ironwill for about two months. Ironwill (formerly XFit) has moved around a lot and now is located in a back room of the Supreme Court Athletic Club on Mathilda Ave. If you are looking for a gym with gleaming rows of equipment, look elsewhere. That isn't what this is about. This is crossfit style, so expect a workout of the day with weights, kettlebells, situps, box jumps and the like. Chris, the owner, is passionate about his clients and his business and is there every single night. He tailors every workout to every client. Yes, it costs more than 24 hour fitness, but a whole lot less than a dedicated trainer, which is really what you should be comparing the cost to. Make no mistake, if you put in the effort here, you will get huge results. After two months, I am much slimmer and in better shape, to the point where people stop me at work and tell me I've lost weight. Update: The gym has moved again and is in the back of the gateway community center two doors down from the old location. read more

I took a free class here with my hubby, and we both really enjoyed it. I didn't know what to expect, since I had heard that Crossfit was kind of a cult...Not so,at least not here! The instructor we had was really cool, and very understanding about my knee problems. He was encouraging to everyone, (without being patronizing or anything like that.) He even took one girl aside that was having major difficulty, and got her going again. All the people in the class were really friendly, and fun to team up with. I think we may eventually join this group. In all honestly, the class wasn't quite as challenging as I expected, but they do a variety of workouts, so I'm hoping the next one will have me hurting a little more. I liked the way the class was broken into parts, it really made the time fly. I look forward to my next visit! read more

X-FIT changed my life! :) sounds cheesy, but it's true. if you've been searching for a dynamic fitness solution, you MUST try this program. chris green is the brains and trainer behind x-fit and is will work with each individual to target their fitness needs and goals. the vibe at x-fit is contagious and everyone is totally encouraging, motivating and ready to push themselves to the limit. chris is extremely helpful and welcomes visitors. i guarantee that if you try x-fit out, you'll want to come back for more. it hurts SO good and is a workout unlike any other! read more

Danial Sabangan is the only person that puts up with my whining! Peep it. It's homey, fun and I get stuff done. I HATE WORKING OUT but X fit makes it fun =) read more

This class is AWESOME! I look forward to the challenges and dynamic workouts that Chris provides every day. I have been going for about 5 months now and the benefits and changes have been priceless. Now when I go on hikes my boyfriend comments about how sweet my heiny looks :) I also have noticed a great deal of toning in my legs and arms, I have received several comments on how awesome my shoulders and legs look and how I feel overall. I wear a heart rate monitor when I workout and throughout the workout from the beginning warm up to the WOD my heart rate is up there and burning calories, makes it easier for me to rationalize eating gummi bears. But what it really comes down to is the instructor- Chris is BOMB he sets the pace, is encouraging, challenges you, and truly cares. Also the people who take this class are awesome, encouraging and friendly. It doesn't matter what skill level you are at, you are welcomed and supported. To me that is the whole package. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to take a dynamic fitness approach, helps you avoid plateau! read more

I just started going to x-fit classes with Chris and I am very impressed. I enjoy the class setting and I am very happy that I found this place. The classes are cross training and so far so good. Chris is a great trainer and very knowledgeable. I can't wait to see the final results. The pain is harsh, but I know that the work out is helping me achieve my goal! I will definitely keep using X-fit and Chris to improve my overall fitness level. read more

A serious place for those who want a serious workout. No meat market here! Ironwill is in the business of changing people's bodies. No gimmicks and no bs. Just a good ol fashioned boot camp style work out. The instructors are very patient and knowledgeable. The other students are very nice and encouraging. read more

Like most people, I used to go to a traditional gym where I used to spend a couple hours working out. Started with stretching, then jogging a couple miles before I even started my lifting. Then I started X-fit at AKA, where the workouts are usually no longer than 30 min. Surprisingly, I saw more rapid gains in both my strength and physique working out less than 30 minutes a day compared to my hours at a traditional gym. I think that the huge gains that I made could not have been done without the workout environment that the gym provides. The workouts are done in groups where other gym members are not only friendly and supportive, but they also help motivate me to push harder. It was a nice change from dealing with meatheads staring you down for no reason like a traditional gym. They gym also tracks your progress, which I was always too lazy to do myself. With logging my workouts however, I always knew how I previously on an exercise, which pushes me to improve each time I encounter the exercise again. Short workouts, friendly people and faster physical gains? Couldn't ask for more from a gym. read more

They will really test your limits, It's not your ordinary gym. They take the monotony out of your daily workout, the variation in workouts can really challenge your body in ways you won't imagine, muscle groups you didn't even know existed! The workouts are fun yet intense and again differ each day which is my cup of tea since I get bored pretty easily. Another plus for me is the efficiency of the workouts, since I work full time like most people I don't have the extra few hours to spend in a gym everyday so these sweet and short workouts leave me some precious time left in my day to do whatever the hell I want which is great! Most people feel intimidated to go these types of gyms but the instructors work with you in building your strength, they're all about form and safety. Overall, it's a fun and positive environment and worth a shot. Just prepare to be sore :) read more

Awesome experience, great group of people, positive environment and Chris is a top notch teacher!

AKA-XFIT-Sunnyvale is the edge I've always wanted in a workout. For me working out is a passion and whenever there is a new challenge or an opportunity to take my physical fitness to the next level I'm all for it. XFIT does just that. Xfit offers a dynamic way of working out, it combines movements that develop an individual's power, speed, flexibility, and overall athletic performance. Xfit is for everyone! If you ever thought about signing up for a gym and worrying about all the hidden fees Xfit Sunnyvale is hassle free. Chris Greene is the instructor for the evening classes and really makes sure you understand the movements that are going to be done before you actually continue with working sets which is very important in preventing injuries. He also pushes you to try your hardest and to see how far you can go. read more

The exercise class is really great. Burn the calories and the coaches are very nice guys. They even have a free trial first week. Just come and see how you feel and decide whether you want to pay after the first week. Highly recommend. read more

As many others have mentioned, Chris is simply awesome. This is my first Crossfit experience and it's definitely not easy! The workouts are intense and you'll get your ass kicked (in the best way possible.) Everyone there seems to be very friendly and encouraging. I love how the workouts are always different, so at the very least you'll never get bored of the same routine! =) I think one of the most important aspect of Crossfit is to have a good trainer and you'll get that with Chris. read more

Have been working out at Ironwill fitness for around 3 months. Chris is amazing. He is natural when helping beginners, correcting their form, encouraging them, cheering them up. He designs the workout to push the group to the extreme, while helping them remain injury free, which is very important to me. Chris has always been there if I wanted advice on weight loss and strengthening. I have had great results from the workout. I have lost weight, am stronger and more energetic(the soreness from the workouts has been harsh, but that is always welcome). Chris takes care to maintain the atmosphere cheerful and fun during the workouts and kudos to the other folks who attend the gym, they are helpful and encouraging as well. If you are looking for a place to help you get stronger and fitter, look no further. read more

I don't think Ive ever been sore for 2 weeks - Neal is no joke - Highly recomended.

I have been to 3 sessions at iron will fitness so far. Workouts have been different and challenging each time. And each time I feel stronger, more knowledgable about form, and generally kick ass about what I've accomplished. I'm new to this type of work out (crossfit-type of workout), but I run and practice bikram yoga on a regular basis. People in class are of all different levels of fitness, and kudos to owner/trainer Chris for simultaneously having us train at our appropriate level with the goal in mind of pushing us to that next level. Good mix of having a group vibe, trainer guidance and motivation, but also doing your own thing by competing against yourself in each workout. Excited to see where I'm at after a month of this! read more

If you're still looking for a gym to join... look no further. Xfit located inside of American Kickboxing Academy in Sunnyvale provides a friendly atmosphere for people of all skills & interests. The instructor designed multiple combination of workouts to confuse your muscle group which will show fast results. If you are the type of person who needs motivation or just need support to reach your goals... DEFINITELY check out Xfit. read more

X-fit is definitely the way to go. I bought the groupon for this spot and came in with my girl. The workout's were intense but were still suitable for beginners. The guys were pretty patient, especially when it took me forever to learn how to do a damn powerclean! The location is convenient, and the size of the area isn't bad. The people here are really friendly. The only reason I couldn't continue was a change in my work schedule no longer allowed me to go due to their times available. They have plenty of times, but I just couldn't fit it in. Other than that, it was a good experience and I would suggest anyone whos thinking of trying it to just go! read more

I have seen the xFit classes and can see where they would get you in shape quickly. Not being a "group person", at 59, overweight & out of shape, I have chosen to use Chris Green as a personal trainer. I was totally intimidated as I hadn't exercised in years. What a find Chris is!!! He developed a program which started at a level at which I could achieve success. He geared the workout specifically towards my problems like getting out of a chair. What totally blew me away was he actually made it as fun as he could since I hated working out. He has an unbelieveable sense of humor so we could laugh as we worked out. He encouraged me but at the same time knew when I was working out as hard as I could. He never made me feel unsuccessful or stupid. My memory isn't the same as it was so he was very patient repeating instructions until I totally understood. I was so impressed with him that I had him work with both my son and daughter and he was the type of instructor they needed too. My son wanted to be pushed to the limit and Chris pushed him to that limit. My daughter on the other hand would turn off if pushed too hard. He has helped her strengthen and increase her endurance. This in turn has greatly increased her gymnastic skills. If you are looking for a Personal Trainer with amazing skills, patience, and a great sense of humor that will totally meet your particular needs, Chris is your guy. I tried two other trainers as did both my kids and they didn't come even close to Chris' training. I think the workout might be tough for kids but his personal training would be great. I think the class would be great for high school students particularly those involved in sports. read more
